The Family Secret background

The Family Secret

A lawyer's world is turned upside down when his son is faced with a devastating moral dilemma after accidentally killing his best friend, leaving no witnesses to testify to the tragic event.

A group of friends are embroiled in a deadly fight outside a tavern, resulting in the death of one of them. The survivor, David, tries to cover his tracks by hiding the evidence and pretending nothing is wrong. However, his father, a retired lawyer, discovers the truth and urges David to confess to the police. David's mother takes a different approach, advising him to keep quiet to avoid going to prison. As the case unfolds, an innocent man is wrongly accused of the crime, and David's father is convinced to defend him. Meanwhile, David becomes increasingly consumed by guilt and struggles to find inner peace.
